Tampa Laser Skin Resurfacing:

The Erbium laser is used to treat aging and sun-damaged skin to restore a smoother, more youthful appearance. Erbium laser skin resurfacing removes superficial and moderately deep facial wrinkles, as well as relaxing deeper wrinkles. Dr. Mack uses the Erbium laser to gently vaporize the damaged skin layers which stimulates the production of collagen, thus resulting in tightening and smoothing of the skin.

Dr. Mack utilizes the state of the art Sciton Erbium laser to perform skin resurfacing in his facility's operating room as an outpatient procedure. As compared to other lasers, the Sciton Erbium laser results in less post-operative redness and swelling. This leads to more rapid healing time with a shorter recovery time for the patient. Most patients are fully recovered and can resume normal activities within 8 to 10 days. During the postoperative period, the treated facial areas are kept moist with ointment. Patients can normally resume wearing make-up after 10 to 12 days. It is very important to use sun protection for 2 to 3 months following Erbium laser resurfacing. During the first few weeks following the laser resurfacing, the pink skin will fade to normal tone with a softer, smoother and younger looking appearance.
